Bilingual people, when you were/if you are in school, did/do you ever talk to someone who speaks your language in that language so that the teachers won’t understand?

A lot.
Indonesian is the world's biggest trilinguist country.People usually speaks their local languages (there are 700+ of them), Indonesian, and other foreign language.
In my class alone there are probably 8 languages spoken by the student (usually Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese, Banjarese, Balinese, Indonesian, Chinese, Madurese, and so on), so they can just gossiping about things and the teacher or friends wouldn't know anything.

When I was at school (UK) there was a German girl and a Swiss girl talking in German and one of them said "Scheiser" really loudly, the teacher turnes and glared at them and slowly they realised why and had to apologise to the teacher, as they hadn't really thought that while he couldn't understand, he still knew the swear words!
Wasn't a big deal was just funny and everyone laughed (incl teacher), needless to say they were a bit more cautious after that.
